To all whom it may concern;

Be it known that I, GUsTAv PEETZ, a citizen of the United States,residing in the bor ough of Manhattan, city, county, and State of NewYork, have invented an Improvement in Ironing Wax-Pads, of which thefollowing is a Specification.

In carrying out my invention I employ a base and a backing upon Vwhichare superimposed and secured connected sheets of waxsaturated material.Over the connected sheets of wax-saturated material I preferably employa sheet of paper and an outer layer of fabric, which latter parts areSecured to the base by a suitable binder.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is aplan of my improved ironing wax-pad; andFig. 2 is a section, on a larger scale, at line x Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is apartial cross-section of a modification of my improvement.

a represents a base of cardboard or other suitable material, and I haveshown the same as rectangular; but it maybe of any desired form.

I) is a backing, preferably made of the same material as the base a, andcorresponds to the same in outline, but is of smaller area. The backingl) is secured to the base a by any means known to the art and in such aposition that there is a border, equal on all sides, around the base.

c d are sheets of wax-saturated blotting-V paper or other Suitablematerial similarly treated, of the same size and shape as the backingand are secured together and to the backing b in any manner whatsoever.I also employ a sheet of Manilaor other paper e and an outer layer ofcheese-cloth or other and both the paper e and the fabric f extend overthe entire upper surface of the sheet d of waX-saturated material, overall the edges of both sheets c d of the waXsaturated material and theedges of the backing l), and over a portion of the surface of the borderof the base a and are secured in position by a binder g, which overlapsthe edges of the paper e and fabric j and passes over the edge of thebase a and is secured to the under side thereof.

As shown in Fig. 3, I may employ a sheet of waterproof paper t of thesame area as the sheets of wax-saturated material c and placed betweenthe same and the backing in order to prevent the backing b and the basea from becoming saturated with wax.

The special object of this assembling and connecting the parts is toprevent the waX flowing and escaping under the heat of the iron whenplaced on top of the pad, as tze melted wax retained within the closureis at once taken up again by the blotting-paper or other similarsuitable material upon the removal of the heated iron, and thus all oftie Wax with which the paper is charged is available for use withoutwaste.

It is obvious that the sheet of paper e or the fabric f, or both, may betreated by an application of Wax previous to making up the pads, so asto make more positive the dissemination of the wax from the sheets c din use.

I claim as my inventionl. As a new article of manufacture, an ironingwax-pad, comprising a base, a backing, connected superimposed sheets ofwaxsaturated material, a sheet of paper over said sheet of wax-saturatedmaterial, a cover of open fabric, and a binder overlapping the edges ofsaid paper and fabric, passing over the edges of the base and secured tothe under side thereof.
